So does it come with a list of known bugs and shortcomings?
Because there are quite a few, and I have no idea whether they are known or not.
Workbench.library, ARexx
- add menu A, add menu B (right of A), remove menu A (B moves left), add menu A again .. and Workbench hangs. May be related to how "rich" the menus are. Work-around, use "place holders" so menus are never really removed.
- no way to ask for the path to a selected file? There is only an assumption that path corresponds to the chain of parent windows, but this is not the case for "left out" icons, so how is one supposed to perform "commands" on selected files/drawers represented by left out icons on the "root" window (aka "Workbench")?
- "selected icons" seem to only cover "selected icons in focused window"? On Workbench one can select icons from all windows, focused or not.
- with norwegian keymap, the key two jump right of "p", right left of "return" key, is a deadkey for ümläüt and (shift) hât. With alt pressed, this key goes back to US layout, so right bracket and (shift) right curly bracket. And that works everywhere except in WBInfo window. When editing tooltypes one can not enter any right bracket or curly bracket using this key. Not a problem when there's numpad, but for sure an annoyance when for example on A600.
- most if not all the "modules" ADFs are not bootable, which they should be.
- modules floppies lack "keymap.library" v47, so it isn't loaded when booting which prevents certain software from working after installation is finished, as the systems are left with whatever keymap.library is present on physical kickstart. Current work-around is to manually extract keymap.library v47 from an OS 3.2 kickstart file and copy to LIBS:, proper solution is to have it present on the modules floppies so it gets installed.
(In general, _all_ the kickstart rom modules should be on the modules floppies, that makes it possible to bootstrap 3.2 even from kickstart 2.x systems.)
